Pastor Holmes made national headlines last year for taking down a suspected package thief in his front yard. At the time, he said pointing his 45 cal. pistol at the grandmother was the only way he would get her to feel the fear of God. Holmes even prepared a sermon after the incident, telling his congregation why God said to arm yourself.”
